Ed Brubaker has always been a Review Group favourite, and we all know how cool Bucky is, I'm expecting big things here people!

Winter Soldier #1as selected by Eli Katz

Amoebas has next week's pick

Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Your review must be at least a paragraph to show you've put some effort in, but beyond that, there's no right or wrong, unless you disagree with me

Eventually, I will put together all of our reviews and we will have our very own article on the front page of The Outhouse! If you would like for your review to be included, please try to have it posted by the end of day on Tuesday.

I loved the artwork, it was just dirty enough to set the tone for the beginning of this series beautifully, yet it was still clean enough that the storytelling was never muddled. As for the story itself, it was good. The Soviet sleeper agents coming out of hiding plot isn't exactly the newest sort of story out there, but Brubaker presents things in an interesting way that prevents the natural cliches from overwhelming the story.

This felt like the "Cap #1-25" Bru.. I think I have a new favorite book at Marvel, after only one issue! This is seriously better than anything Cap-related that Brubaker has written in years. Albeit, only one issue.. but still. And Butch Guice knocked it out of the damn park. I think this might be the best I've seen from him in a very, very long time. Can't actually remember a better outing, for that matter. A perfect blend of dark and gritty, but also some beautiful close up panels. His Black Widow is great.

I know next to nothing about this guy that Bucky became and Bru did a great job filling in those gaps (not that I'm convinced Bucky should ever have been resurrected).

But questions remain. Cap spent ages getting comfortable to 1964, yet Bucky seems to get the modern world instantly. The Black Widow - she knew about Bucky being alive and never mentioned this to Cap or anyone else? This was a WTF moment that drew me right out of the book.

Once I was able to get back into it the book we got a another bed post notch for Natasha, Commie Gorillas, the Red Ghost and Dr Doom. What started as a cool cold war spy story switched gears rather quickly into typical super-hero/villain fare. (Commie Gorillas are nothing new to Marvel but a 'Talking' Commie Gorilla reminded me too much of DC's Talking Nazi Gorilla (who's also a vampire).

And my hats off to Butch Guice. Sometimes he's off his game - not here. Great stuff and a HUGE thank you to him for showing the other Marvel artists that the Black Widow can be extremely sexy without having her breasts pushing the bounderies of a zipper at the navel costume!

StoryThis was a great start to the series. I loved the set up with the other Soviet sleeper agents. Bru did a great job I thought of bringing new readers up to speed with what had been going on with Bucky. I really enjoyed the espionage aspects of the story. Bucky and Black Widow make a great team as they hunt down the Soviet sleeper agents. I really liked the exchange about the first one to be spotted buys breakfast. I loved the involvement of Red Ghost and Doom here as well. And of course the commie speaking gorilla at the end was great. There wasn't anything I didn't enjoy here.

ArtGuice's art here was simply amazing. Everything looked great. I especially thought the colorist did a great job and really added the work Guice did.
